The race is on to create cheap materials to store energy for the U.S power grid, said Mechanical Engineering Department Chair James Klausner. MSU is sharing a $2 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). "We think we can return electricity to the grid at less than 5 cents per kilowatt hour," he said.
